A #retainingwall footing should be deep enough to resist the weight of saturated #soil. Otherwise it will not be able to hold the pressure of weighted soil when it's wet.

The main cause of #retainingwall failure is poor #drainage. Pressure dramatically increases when #soil is saturated. Universal Home Improvement is a trusted contractor with decades of experience in complicated builds. #contractor | #homeimprovement

Even the best built #retainingwall is bound to fail if it doesn’t have the right #drainage behind it to relieve the hydrostatic pressure. #generalcontractor |#drainagedoneright | #

Back on the french drain project, we have applied the #waterproof coating and membrane to seal everything. #generalcontractor | #floodingbasement | #frenchdrain

We are digging a trench all around the house so we can prep the house for waterproofing. The house floods when it rains, so a #frenchdrain that forces the #downspout away from the house will solve their problem. Stay tuned! #drainage | #homeimprovement | #floodingbasement

It is very important that 3/4" crushed #stone be used in order to provide proper #drainage and prevent build-up of #hydrostatic pressure, which can lead to #basement wall failure. #frenchdrain | #floodingbasement | #contractor | #general
